ETL Testing Services

Accredited Laboratory for Testing the Quality and Energy Efficiency of Solid State Lighting

As a member of Intertek’s SATELLITE™ Data Acceptance Program our laboratory is in compliance with ISO 17025 quality management system. Specifically measuring and confirming that commercial lighting products are safe, reliable, eco-friendly and meet all trusted external and internal standards.

ITL has established a documented Quality Management System (QMS) that complies with ISO/IEC 17025 and provides for continuous improvement in order to ensure reliable and accurate test results, in a traceable manner, by utilizing published Standards, proven test methods, industry best practices and on-going quality improvement initiatives.

Our commitment to quality of customer service as well as professional conduct and practices is documented throughout our quality management system (QMS) and are a constant effort and focus.

CAPABILITIES:
THERMAL CHAMBER
- Our state-of-the-art thermal chamber provides elevated temperature and humidity testing for performance and reliability of our products.
- The thermal chamber employs a digital control panel for operation.
- Interior volume: >39 cubic-inches
- Temperature range: -60^oC to 150^oC
- Relative Humidity range: 20% to 98% RH
- IP 5X/6X DUST/SAND CHAMBER
  - The IP dust/sand chamber provides time-controlled, non-laminar flow of dust-loaded vertical circulation flow. Accordingly, it is configured simultaneously on product(s) within the product’s enclosure exhaust vacuum pump, and can adjust the exhaust volume and pressure. In addition, the configuration stream controls the temperature in order to ensure that the IEC 60529 (Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)) requirements are followed under the intended environmental conditions.
  - The IP dust/sand chamber employs a digital control panel for operation.
  - Our state-of-the-art IP dust and sand chamber has room to cover over 60 cubic-inches of volume.
  - Environmental Conditions:
    - Air temperature range: 0^oC to 35^oC
    - Relative Humidity range: 25% to 75% RH
    - Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
  - Temperature range control: +10^oC to +70^oC
